feat(fleet): Emacs Sovereign Control Plane (#590)

Implement tooling for the shared Emacs daemon control plane on Bezalel.
Agents can now poll dispatch.org for tasks, claim work, and report
results programmatically.

Files:
- scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py — Python client with 6 commands:
  poll (find PENDING tasks), claim (PENDING→IN_PROGRESS), done (mark
  complete), append (status messages), status (health check), eval
  (arbitrary Elisp). SSH-based communication with Bezalel Emacs daemon.
- scripts/emacs-fleet-poll.sh — Shell poll script for crontab integration.
  Shows connectivity, task counts, my pending/active tasks, recent activity.
- skills/autonomous-ai-agents/emacs-control-plane/SKILL.md — Full skill
  docs covering infrastructure, API, agent loop integration, state machine,
  and pitfalls.

Infrastructure:
- Host: Bezalel (159.203.146.185)
- Socket: /root/.emacs.d/server/bezalel
- Dispatch: /srv/fleet/workspace/dispatch.org
- Configurable via BEZALEL_HOST, BEZALEL_SSH_KEY, EMACS_SOCKET env vars

Closes #590

+# Research: Long Context vs RAG Decision Framework
+
+**Date**: 2026-04-13
+**Research Backlog Item**: 4.3 (Impact: 4, Effort: 1, Ratio: 4.0)
+**Status**: Complete
+
+## Current State of the Fleet
+
+### Context Windows by Model/Provider
+| Model | Context Window | Our Usage |
+|-------|---------------|-----------|
+| xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro (Nous) | 128K | Primary workhorse (Hermes) |
+| gpt-4o (OpenAI) | 128K | Fallback, complex reasoning |
+| claude-3.5-sonnet (Anthropic) | 200K | Heavy analysis tasks |
+| gemma-3 (local/Ollama) | 8K | Local inference |
+| gemma-3-27b (RunPod) | 128K | Sovereign inference |
+
+### How We Currently Inject Context
+1. **Hermes Agent**: System prompt (~2K tokens) + memory injection + skill docs + session history. We're doing **hybrid** — system prompt is stuffed, but past sessions are selectively searched via `session_search`.
+2. **Memory System**: holographic fact_store with SQLite FTS5 — pure keyword search, no embeddings. Effectively RAG without the vector part.
+3. **Skill Loading**: Skills are loaded on demand based on task relevance — this IS a form of RAG.
+4. **Session Search**: FTS5-backed keyword search across session transcripts.
+
+### Analysis: Are We Over-Retrieving?
+
+**YES for some workloads.** Our models support 128K+ context, but:
+- Session transcripts are typically 2-8K tokens each
+- Memory entries are <500 chars each
+- Skills are 1-3K tokens each
+- Total typical context: ~8-15K tokens
+
+We could fit 6-16x more context before needing RAG. But stuffing everything in:
+- Increases cost (input tokens are billed)
+- Increases latency
+- Can actually hurt quality (lost in the middle effect)
+
+### Decision Framework
+
+```
+IF task requires factual accuracy from specific sources:
+    → Use RAG (retrieve exact docs, cite sources)
+ELIF total relevant context < 32K tokens:
+    → Stuff it all (simplest, best quality)
+ELIF 32K < context < model_limit * 0.5:
+    → Hybrid: key docs in context, RAG for rest
+ELIF context > model_limit * 0.5:
+    → Pure RAG with reranking
+```
+
+### Key Insight: We're Mostly Fine
+Our current approach is actually reasonable:
+- **Hermes**: System prompt stuffed + selective skill loading + session search = hybrid approach. OK
+- **Memory**: FTS5 keyword search works but lacks semantic understanding. Upgrade candidate.
+- **Session recall**: Keyword search is limiting. Embedding-based would find semantically similar sessions.
+
+### Recommendations (Priority Order)
+1. **Keep current hybrid approach** — it's working well for 90% of tasks
+2. **Add semantic search to memory** — replace pure FTS5 with sqlite-vss or similar for the fact_store
+3. **Don't stuff sessions** — continue using selective retrieval for session history (saves cost)
+4. **Add context budget tracking** — log how many tokens each context injection uses
+
+### Conclusion
+We are NOT over-retrieving in most cases. The main improvement opportunity is upgrading memory from keyword search to semantic search, not changing the overall RAG vs stuffing strategy.

+# Emacs Sovereign Control Plane
+
+## Overview
+
+A shared Emacs daemon running on Bezalel acts as a real-time, programmable whiteboard and task queue for the entire AI fleet. Unlike Gitea (async, request-based), this provides real-time synchronization and shared executable notebooks.
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+| Component | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Daemon Host | Bezalel (`159.203.146.185`) |
+| SSH User | `root` |
+| Socket Path | `/root/.emacs.d/server/bezalel` |
+| Dispatch File | `/srv/fleet/workspace/dispatch.org` |
+| Fast Wrapper | `/usr/local/bin/fleet-append "message"` |
+
+## Files
+
+```
+scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py    # Python client (poll, claim, done, append, status, eval)
+scripts/emacs-fleet-poll.sh      # Shell poll script for crontab/agent loops
+```
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Coordinating multi-agent tasks across the fleet
+- Real-time status updates visible to Alexander (via timmy-emacs tmux)
+- Shared executable notebooks (Org-babel)
+- Polling for work assigned to your agent identity
+
+**Do NOT use when:**
+- Simple one-off tasks (just do them)
+- Tasks already tracked in Gitea issues (no duplication)
+- Emacs daemon is down (fall back to Gitea)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Poll for my tasks
+```bash
+python3 scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py poll --agent timmy
+```
+
+### Claim a task
+```bash
+python3 scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py claim TASK-001 --agent timmy
+```
+
+### Report completion
+```bash
+python3 scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py done TASK-001 --result "Merged PR #456" --agent timmy
+```
+
+### Append a status message
+```bash
+python3 scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py append "Deployed v2.3 to staging" --agent timmy
+```
+
+### Check control plane health
+```bash
+python3 scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py status
+```
+
+### Direct Emacs Lisp evaluation
+```bash
+python3 scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py eval "(org-element-parse-buffer)"
+```
+
+### Shell poll (for crontab)
+```bash
+bash scripts/emacs-fleet-poll.sh timmy
+```
+
+## SSH Access from Other VPSes
+
+Agents on Ezra, Allegro, etc. can interact via SSH:
+```bash
+ssh root@bezalel 'emacsclient -s /root/.emacs.d/server/bezalel -e "(your-elisp-here)"'
+```
+
+Or use the fast wrapper:
+```bash
+ssh root@bezalel '/usr/local/bin/fleet-append "Your message here"'
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Set env vars to override defaults:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `BEZALEL_HOST` | `159.203.146.185` | Bezalel VPS IP |
+| `BEZALEL_USER` | `root` | SSH user |
+| `BEZALEL_SSH_KEY` | (none) | SSH key path |
+| `BEZALEL_SSH_TIMEOUT` | `15` | SSH timeout in seconds |
+| `EMACS_SOCKET` | `/root/.emacs.d/server/bezalel` | Emacs daemon socket |
+| `DISPATCH_FILE` | `/srv/fleet/workspace/dispatch.org` | Dispatch org file path |
+
+## Agent Loop Integration
+
+In your agent's operational loop, add a dispatch check:
+
+```python
+# In heartbeat or cron job:
+import subprocess
+result = subprocess.run(
+    ["python3", "scripts/emacs-fleet-bridge.py", "poll", "--agent", "timmy"],
+    capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=30
+)
+if "→" in result.stdout:
+    # Tasks found — process them
+    for line in result.stdout.splitlines():
+        if "→" in line:
+            task = line.split("→", 1)[1].strip()
+            # Process task...
+```
+
+## Crontab Setup
+
+```cron
+# Poll dispatch.org every 10 minutes
+*/10 * * * * /path/to/scripts/emacs-fleet-poll.sh timmy >> ~/.hermes/logs/fleet-poll.log 2>&1
+```
+
+## Dispatch.org Format
+
+Tasks in the dispatch file follow Org mode conventions:
+
+```org
+* PENDING Deploy auth service           :timmy:allegro:
+  DEADLINE: <2026-04-15>
+  Deploy the new auth service to staging cluster.
+
+* IN_PROGRESS Fix payment webhook       :timmy:
+  Investigating 502 errors on /webhook/payments.
+
+* DONE Migrate database schema          :ezra:
+  Schema v3 applied to all shards.
+```
+
+Agent tags (`:timmy:`, `:allegro:`, etc.) determine assignment.
+
+## State Machine
+
+```
+PENDING → IN_PROGRESS → DONE
+   ↓            ↓
+ (skip)     (fail/retry)
+```
+
+- **PENDING**: Available for claiming
+- **IN_PROGRESS**: Claimed by an agent, being worked on
+- **DONE**: Completed with optional result note
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+1. **SSH connectivity** — Bezalel may be unreachable. Always check status before claiming tasks. If down, fall back to Gitea-only coordination.
+
+2. **Race conditions** — Multiple agents could try to claim the same task. The emacsclient eval is atomic within a single call, but claim-then-read is not. Use the claim function (which does both in one elisp call).
+
+3. **Socket path** — The socket at `/root/.emacs.d/server/bezalel` only exists when the daemon is running. If the daemon restarts, the socket is recreated.
+
+4. **SSH key** — Set `BEZALEL_SSH_KEY` env var if your agent's default SSH key doesn't match.
+
+5. **Don't duplicate Gitea** — If a task is already tracked in a Gitea issue, use that for progress. dispatch.org is for fleet-level coordination, not individual task tracking.
